Sports / Fantasy Premier League Game Week 3 Scout Picks by nairatag: 6:03pm On Sep 25, 2020
The premier league is not complete without the fantasy sensation. The fantasy premier league popularly known as fpl is in its Game Week 3 and many people are looking for the ideal player to buy. Who will be the king of the gameweek is in so many thought.
It is a different team to buy a player and a different thing for the player to play or perform well. Popular choice last season Lundstram missed a penalty last week which resulted in a point deduction.
The premier league returns tomorrow with

Brighton vs Manchester united
Crystal Palace vs Everton
Westbrom vs Chelsea
Burnley vs Southampton
Sheffield vs Leeds united
Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle united
Manchester City vs Leicester city
Westham vs Wolves
Fulham vs Aston Villa
Liverpool vs Arsenal
[/center]

Those are the matches in the GW3 and this post will shed some light into some of the players you must have.

Game Week 3 Captain

A captain gets double points and it is everyone joy to have a highscoring captain. Kevin De Bruyne get the nod to take the captain band in this Game week. They are facing a spineless Leicester side with Ndidi out of that clash due to injury. Leicester city have put their last season disappointing collapse behind to start strongly this season with 2 win in 2 and 7 goals scored while conceding 2. The game look to be open with lot of chances at both sides. Only one person is the heartbeat of Manchester city in this kind of match and he is none other than Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian has already scored and assisted this season which is 13 points and 26 points if he was captained. They are at Etihad against Leicester City and I believe he can double Game week 2 points with a man of the match performance.
Make Kevin De Bruyne your captain for a potential 30 points.

Game week 3 Striker

Timo Werner is our top pick for the striker position. The German is yet to get his first Chelsea goal but he is likely to get that against West Bromwich Albion in GW3 of the fpl. Westbrom have not been convincing and have conceded 8 goals so far which is the highest after 2 matches played. They can’t defend and crumble at every attack. Chelsea demolition of Barnsley could see Lampard shake things up with Timo Werner playing the wing, Tammy Abraham spear heading the attack and Callum Hudson Odoi starting. Ben Chilwell could also make his first premier league start and the Chilwell Werner combo will be a bomb in the left wing. Timo Werner will get couple of goals or provide assists in this game week and will gather much points than he has done in the first too Game weeks. The German currently valued at 9.5m is good value and will provide the desirable result.

Game Week 3 goal keeper

This will be Manchester City safe hands Ederson. The Brazilian is very likely to keep a cleansheet and have some saves when Manchester city face Leicester. Manchester city will dominate with Leicester relying on counters that will be rebuffed by Ederson. This will give the Brazilian some points coupled with potential Manchester City win.

Game Week 3 Defender

Reece James is our pick for the defender category for Game week 3. The Chelsea defender showed a solid performance in their win against Brighton and we are backing a repeat performance away at the Hawthorns. He will see lot of balls on the right wing and should connect with Tammy Abraham who is expected to start after his good showing against Barnsley in the EFL cup. A potential cleansheet also means a solid match that can see him get more than 12 points.
Other potential additions

Bruno fernandes is another good addition considering Manchester united will be looking for their first win of the season. Bruno Fernandes will be tasked with the responsibility of providing assists and in charge of set pieces for the Red Devils.

Heung Min Son is on fire and doesn’t feel like stopping anytime soon. Tottenham face Newcastle in what will be an open game full of chances. Son is a huge favourite to score.

Everton frontline of Dominic Calvert Lewin and Richarlison partnership has flourished under Carlo Ancelotti and you can bank on them to stop Crystal Palace train.

We wish you the best in Game week 3.

Chelsea second

Chelsea in second position at the end of the 2020-21 season will be a good result for Frank Lampard. Chelsea have been splashing the cash and have already signed Havertz, Chilwell, Ziyech, Timo Werner, and Thiago Silva. They don’t look like stopping yet with talks of another keeper not yet concluded.

They have signed top players at their peak but Chelsea problem this season will be their style of playing. Chelsea is noted for putting defense first but that changed under Sarri who brought Sarriball. The Italian changed their style of play and that affected Chelsea last season. They created chances and scored loads of goals but conceded on almost every shot on target. Many blamed Kepa for the goals conceded but the truth lies in the midfield and defense. Rudiger and Zouma pairing won’t work, they are both erratic and need someone calm like Fikayo Tomori. The Anglo-Nigerian shines in the first half of the season where Chelsea racked up cleansheets but injury problem cost him first team opportunities. Azpilicueta is out of sorts and lacks the leadership spirit to Marshall the backline. Thiago Silva acquisition looks like a success on paper but the question is how many matches will he play? Chelsea in 2020-21 season will be like Serie A Atalanta. They will score goals and concede a lot.

The midfield relies on only Kante as the defensive midfielder which shouldn’t be so. The French man has been nursing an injury that may keep him yet again for some key matches this coming season.

Chelsea need to sign someone to help Kante if they want to win the league. It’s not all about Kepa but the struggling defense and defensively porous midfield.

Second position is the best they can achieve in the 2020-21 season.

Manchester united first

Manchester united last won the league 7 years ago in 2012-13 season under Alex Ferguson and I think they are ripe for it again. They currently have the most complete squad in the league and a coach that’s ready to prove a point. Dean Henderson is back from Sheffield meaning De Gea must be at his best to continue as the first choice. They are one of the strongest in the midfield position with adequate quality players in every midfield department. Donny Van de Beek signing is a boost to an already solid midfield. He will provide energy to the midfield and support Pogba there with Fred, Mctomminay, and Matic likely to fight for first team opportunities. That’s a healthy competition there.

The emergence of Greenwood on the right has relegated Daniel James to the bench. The attack line in the forthcoming season will be Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood which will be devastating considering their mobility. The trio scored 44 goals in the 2019-20 premier league season with 50 plus goals expected from them this season.

The defense is their only weakness especially in the center back position. The first choice Central defenders is Maguire and Lindelof with Bailly the other option. Rojo is not in Solskjaer plan and Smalling us to be sold to Roma. It is likely Solskjaer signs another center back to bolster the defense line.

They have no problem in the full back position with Bissaka proving solid and Luke Shaw putting his injuries in the past. Daniel James may end up turning to a full back just to get playing chances similar to what Alex Ferguson did with Antonio Valencia. It’s a bright season for Manchester united who is still in pursuit of Jadon Sancho. I see them winning the 2020-21 Premier League.

Sports / Premier League 2020-21: Who Will Make The Top Four by nairatag: 4:53pm On Sep 16, 2020
The 2020-2021 Premier League season is almost here and every fan is anxious for what await there team.

This 2020-2021 season will be the toughest season so far in premier league history with the top clubs having the top coaches in world football. Manchester City have Pep Guardiola, Liverpool have UCL winning coach Jürgen Klopp, Everton have Carlo Ancelotti, Arsenal have Mikel Arteta who has won two trophies already in 2020. Manchester united have Solskjaer who is hoping to win something with his star-studded squad, Chelsea have Frank Lampard, Leicester have former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, with newcomers boasting of 2019 FIFA fair play award winner Marco Bielsa.

The stage is set for the managers to steer their team to success. There are atleast 6 solid teams vying for the top four position. Every manager want to prove a point and see their team to a better position.

This post will predict how the top four will look like at the end of game week 38.

Ghengiskhan:

Both Martinez and Arsenal knows that he is too good for a backup keeper, plus Arsenal need the cash to rebuild since they don't have a sugar daddy. It's a win win for both side.... Good luck to Martinez. At least Arsenal is making more money from Martinez sale than they did for fabianski, Szczęsny and Gbabry combined

Yes. I just want him to move to a better club. Look at Sczecsny at Juventus

Ramsdale is England U21 goalie if I'm not wrong and he has Pickford,Henderson and Pope ahead of him so he won't get any senior call up soon. About Martinez,reason to this. All of Argentina's top keepers are in England. Romero is 3rd choice at Man Utd. Gazzaniga is behind Lloris at Spurs. If Martinez goes to Villa he will be the most active of the trio,and there's a Copa America next year. He knows what he's doing

Lloris is french. Their goalkeepers are Marchesin who mans the post for Porto and Andrada

Jack Grealish is wanted by Tottenham, Man Utd , Arsenal and Everton.. He survived relegation with Aston Villa last season.

We are talking about goalkeepers not outfield players. Goalkeepers are rarely changed. I think his sticking in England is because of family. Probably most of his families are in England.

Aaron Ramsdale was in goal for Bournemouth,they got relegated,but his performances got him 18.5 mil pound move to Sheffield. It's not about the team,it's about the quality of the keeper. The guy wanted to play more,there's a Copa next year and World Cup in two years. He wants the Argentina starting shirt

From Bournemouth to Sheffield another struggling team. They will struggle this season

You want him to keep warming the bench even at 28?

He made the right move. Leno's return means sending him to be Oblivion.

20m is not bad for a goalkeeper.

Read the post well
Sports / Emiliano Martinez Transfer To Aston Villa Is Totally Wrong by nairatag: 7:53pm On Sep 15, 2020
Barring any last minute change, Emiliano Martinez will be a Aston Villa player before the end of the week for £20m.

The Arsenal goalkeeper has been vociferous of his plans to start in every game for the Gunners. Emiliano Martinez profited from an injury to first choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno who got injured after a clash with Brighton Neal Maupay.
Arsenal
Emiliano Martinez shoned brightly in his unexpected first team opportunities as Arsenal won the FA cup and Community shield. His spectacular saves, calmness, and distribution of ball endeared him to the heart Arsenal fans as many clamoured for him as the club first choice goalkeeper. This probably got into Emi Martinez head as he started asking for a starting shirt and won't accept anything less than that.

Bernd Leno has been Arsenal best player until the injury against Brighton. He saved the Arsenal numerous times under Unai Emery who turned Arsenal to a mediocre club. The gunners faced more than thirty shots against relegated Watford which shows what Leno have survived.

Emiliano Martinez came in at a time Arsenal was enjoying some stability under Mikel Arteta. They lost just two matches in the period Martinez featured which showed that it's not about Martinez alone but the club as a whole.

This is not to rubbish Martinez efforts because the Argentine has been superb since coming in as Arsenal number one.

Aston Villa move is totally wrong

In as much as I would have loved Emiliano Martinez to stay at Arsenal, I believe his wishes need to be respected. He have the qualities to be a decent keeper and can play for any mid-table club. Despite this, I believe his impending move to Aston Villa is ill-advised. It is an act of desperation that could backfire.

Aston Villa escaped relegation with just a point separating them and Bournemouth last season. They will be in the relegation fight this season too. Their conceded goals statistics is alarming as they conceded 67 goals which is the second highest in the 2019/2020 premier league season. Their championship performance in 2018/2019 season saw them concede 61 goals which is an increase from 2017/2018 42 goals.

A look at the game week 1 matches in the 2020-21 premier league season shows what's in store for Aston Villa.

You can deduce from the above that Aston Villa will concede atleast 50 goals this season which will paint Emiliano Martinez bad. It's not going to be only his fault but the whole Aston Villa team poor performance.

Aston Villa have not shown any sign of seriousness in the transfer market and that might lead to their drop to the Championship. Grealish cannot be relied upon in every matches. He won't play all the positions especially the defense where they are lacking quality players.


Emiliano Martinez is toeing the path of former Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski who left the club for Swansea in search of first team opportunities. Swansea eventually got relegated and Lukas Fabianski transfer to Westham to avoid the Championship oblivion.

It's not all about the premier league. There are other teams out there that can do better financially and trophy wise than Aston Villa.

Take a look at Wojciech Szczęsny. The Polish international goalkeeper was on Arsenal books before being shipped out on loan to Serie A As Roma. His performance there earned him a move to Juventus where he served as backup to Gianluigi Buffon before taking first team shirt. He's currently playing champions league football and winning trophies.

Ospina is another example that found solace in Napoli. Leno arrival means lack of playing chances and subsequently shipped to Napoli on loan. His first season performance made Napoli sign him on a permanent basis.

Emiliano Martinez agent can do better than Aston Villa. There is Inter Milan with the aging Samir Handanovic who is 36 years already and backup goalkeeper Daniele Padelli who is 34 years. They are a better club under Conte and Martinez will fit in seamlessly. He will have a better chance at trophies and national team callup.

Inter Milan new found love with Premier League players have made things easier for him and his agent. Inter Milan are in the champions league and hoping to beat Juventus to the Serie A gong.

Joining Aston Villa at the age of 28 means he will be 29 by the end of 2020-21 season and the chance of moving to a top club is slim if Aston Villa should get relegated. He will only be rotated among bottom clubs just like Fabianski left Swansea for another bottom club Westham.

I hope he rethink the Aston Villa decision and move to a better club. He deserves a top club where he will showcase his talent.

The ball is in Emiliano Martinez and his agent court. Follow Wojciech Szczęsny path to greatness or fade away like Lukasz Fabianski.

Let me know your thoughts below. Do you think Emiliano Martinez should join Aston Villa or find another top club.
